Kingdoms [A Jimina Story]

Chapter 9

Mina nods and says, "Ahh, so he's here on a mission." Taehyung nods his head and says, "I still don't know the details but I will report to you as soon as I find out." She then says, "It's Sana isn't it." He tenses up the mention of her name and says, "Pardon?"

Mina raises an eyebrow and says, "You know what I'm talking about right? Sana has the vile of poison with Suga's finger print. It's fine, in the records the print is listed under the name Yoongi. But, why didn't you tell me? Were scared I was going to touch Sana?" He stiffens and gulps while she walks towards him.

Mina then says, "I'll never harm Sana while you work for me. That's our deal right, Taehyung?" He nods then she smirks and says, "You're dismissed." Taehyung leaves as she sighs and says, "I hope Jimin isn't the person I think he is."

Meanwhile in Sana's room

Jimin complains, "Min Yoongi? I think I've heard that name before." Sana nods her head and says, "My friend from the library said he's a soldier that's working under the Kingdom of Park. The records also say that he was recently relieved of his duty but this is enough evidence right?" He nods and says, "I just have to deliver this to the Chou's and we're done."

The next day

Jimin walks along the garden in his free time and runs into Mina and Rose. Rose says, "Good morning, Jimin! How do you feel about the garden?" He says, "It's relaxing and beautiful. The flower arrangements are wonderful." She squeals and says, "Thank you!!! I worked on it for weeks!" Mina giggles then slightly pushes her younger sister while saying, "Go study, I heard there's an examination coming up. If you fail, I'll kill you."

Rose pouts and says, "I want to spend time with the guest and hear more opinions on my art!" Mina says, "Well, he's with me today. Jimin, you want to go to the hot springs?" Jimin becomes flustered at the women fighting for his time. Rose then interrupts and says, "Unnie! You just want to see him naked and do things!" Mina smiles and says, "You're too young to be imagining these things. Now hurry up, your tutor will be mad if you come late."

Rose pouts and walks heavy steps away. While she walks the halls towards her tutor session, Jimin's mother notices her. The older woman calls, "Chaeyoung." Rose being the only person in the room replies, "Huh? Oh I'm Roseanne from dinner. Chaeyoung is out with Suga right now."

Jimin's mother continues to stare as the younger girl skips her way towards a room. She sighs in sadness and thinks to herself, "That has to be her. That has to be my Chaeyoung."

Mina bring's Jimin to the hot springs and continues to strip her clothes. Jimin being the gentleman he is, covers his eyes which makes Mina's heart flutter. "Chivalrous." she thinks. Jimin then says, "I didn't bring any swim wear." Mina says out loud, "Just skinny dip! I don't mind." He replies flustered, "Huh?"

Mina giggles then covers her eyes and says, "My eyes are closed." Jimin then shyly takes his shirt off but he notices Mina moved her hand away and suddenly stops. He complains, "You said you were covering your eyes!" Mina splashes water and says, "Stop being a baby! Just take off your shirt!"

Jimin looks at her seriously and says, "Look away!" Mina sighs then looks away and after a while, Jimin joins her in the pool. She notices he still has bandaids from a past mission and says, "Are they healing?" He nods his head and says, "They're fine. I'm just covering them up."

Mina exhales and relaxes her muscles under the water then says, "This is a natural hot spring. What a great gift of nature." Jimin says, "It feels so surreal." Mina giggles and says, "There's mineral rocks underneath which gives us nutrients for our skin." Jimin smirks and says, "Is that why your skin is flawless?"

Mina smirks back and floats closer to him while saying, "It feels softer than it looks." Jimin backs up flustered at her counter flirt. She starts giggling and says, "How is your mother liking her stay?" Jimin says, "I think she has a cold but she'll enjoy it sooner. She told me that her friend use to live here." She raises an eyebrow and says, "Friend?" Jimin nods and says, "I don't remember when because I was so young. She said she stayed here for a long time then left."

Mina says emotionless, "Ahh, I see." A small period of silence engulfs the springs but Mina breaks it as she says, "Sorry, but I have something to attend. Enjoy the springs, it's open 24/7" She walks out the spring barebacked as Jimin stares at her lovely features. She puts a robe back on and his eyes never leave her for a second.

Jimin dries up then goes back to see how his mother is feeling. He suddenly hears a shriek in the bathroom and rushes towards it. He sees a man there while his mother tries to cover herself up in a towel. Jimin charges the guy and pins him to ground. He notices it's Taehyung and starts punching his head several times. When his mother leaves the bathroom to get clothed, Taehyung stands and says, "Sorry, I was going to clean the bathroom and I thought no one was here. Sincere apologies."

Jimin throws him out of their room as he checks up on his mother. As the door is locked, she starts packing up Jimin's clothes and hands him his bag. He looks at her confused and says, "Follow this map, I'll meet you there shortly I just have to get something." He says confused, "What? I'm not leaving you. Why are we leaving? Is this about Taehyung?"

His mother says unsteadily, "It's not about Taehyung. I'll explain when we get there just hurry and make sure no one notices." Jimin then asks her before leaving the room, "What are you getting? I can pick it up so we can be faster." His mom smiles and says, "Don't worry, only I can get her. I'm not leaving her again."

Jimin rushes out silently as his mother approaches a room not too far from theirs. He thinks to himself, "Her?" She knocks on the door and Rose comes out in her sleepwear. His mother says, "Chaeyoung." Rose looks back confused and says, "Sorry lady, I'm Rose. Chaeyoung is out right now. I can leave you a message if you-"

The older woman quickly embraces her in a tight hug and cries on her shoulder. Rose pats her back confused as Jimin's mother says, "I can't leave you again. Come with us Chaeyoung."
